Tire Pressure 

Depending on whether you have too much or too little tire pressure, your vehicle will not run as efficiently as you would like. When you have a low tire pressure, your car has to work harder, making it use more fuel. Fill up your tire to the proper amount for optimal fuel efficiency. 

Maintenance 

There are plenty of things that wear down over time inside your vehicle. The air filter is just one of them. When the air filter needs to be replaced, you should replace it for a better fuel economy. This will save you time and money at the pump. 

Driving Techniques 

There are many things you can do as a driver that will help your vehicle’s fuel economy. You should not drive with your windows down if you want to save on fuel. The drag from the wind makes your engine work harder. You should also use cruise control for a steady rate of speed. When you start and stop, that makes the vehicle use more fuel.
